A Presidential Canvass.

The Presidential canvass made by
the Toledo Blade and published in
The Press of yesterday doubtless fair.
ly reflects the general Republican sen.
timent. The paper has no strong per-
sonal bias which would influence its
readers. The responses came from all
sections and all States. Under such
circumstances the expression of the
twenty one thousand Republicans who
answered the call for their preference
corresponds substantially with the
choice of any other similar number
who might have the opportunity of
speaking.
This canvass emphasizes, what was
already well understood, that Mr..
Blaine is the favorite of the great mass
of Republicans and that Senator
Sherman stsDds---:-ss:;.-s. The preference
1sepuB, IS is divided between
these two eminent leaders in the pro.
portion Of two to one. Other conspic-
uous men like Lincoln, Allison, Har.
rison and Hswley-sOme of whom
would make eligible candidates, re.
ceive few scattering votes, but the
thought of Republicans centres chief
1y in the two able statesmen who con.
fassadly tower above all others. The
s.ots shows that Mr.. Blaine maintains
his undiminished hold upon the con-
fdence and regard Of his party, and
the very decided lead of Mr.. Sherman
for second choice is proof that, if he
does not attach to himself a strong
and ardent pers onal following like
Mr.. Blaine, he still commands the sin.
Pere respect and admiration of Repub.
cans for his great ability and high
bic purpose.
Oae-of the most interesting features
of the canvass is the fact that even in
Ohio Mr.. Blaine slightly leads Mr.
Sherman. The attempt has been made
IN some quarters to embroil the friends
of Mr.. Blaine and those of Mr.. Sher
man ip Ohio in an unseemly and un
fortunate conflict. This effort iinds n,
prompting or sanction outside of th,
State. No friend of Mr.. Blaine be
ond the borders of Ohio would as
ume to meddle with its internal poll
ties, and least Of all would seek to ex
te any opposition to Mr.. Sherman il
own state. The true policy an,
VIC sincere feeling of Republicans VIII
have the best interests Of the party a
heart is to promote mutual consider
alton and Difference. Mr.. Blaine an
Mr.. Sherman are themselves the bes
of friends, and their cordial regar
and considerate bearing toward eac
other constitute worthy example 70
all others.
But this canvass discloses that th
Republicans Of Ohio are themselvt
about evenly divided in their prefcl
ences, 1t is not an expression of Ii
politicians but Of the people, and
explains whatever of rivalry has al
peared 10 the preliminary meeting
aud the county conventions. If II
preference Of the Republicans is stron
enough to impel them to this EXPIRE
sion, it is strong enough to guide thel
in the forms Of political action. I'll
Republicans Of Ohio must psger fc

The Socialists are making every effort
to gain control. They are electing
delegates to the convention to meet in

has seen its best days in any event,

Some Cures for Snake Bites"
REV. C. W. swARTz.

notice in your last issue the re-
quest of Mrs. G.. Hall for some rela.
bic "Cure for Snake. Bites" other than
the one in common use. | am glad TO
be able to name at least three or four,
either of which l should sooner risk
than the one in question and most of
which are within all our homes, or in
the poultry yard.
First, common turpentine, applied
us quickly as possible after the acci.
dent. Mode Of application: Where
you have large uecked bottle, put in
as much as it will hold, and place the
uncorked mouth Immediately over the
wound, and hold the bottle on so close.
ly that but little if any of the liquid
can escape. In very few seconds the
contents of the bottle will be colored
with the virus drawn from the wound.
After few minutes empty the bottle,
and after refilling, apply again. When
bottle cannot be had, let the wound
be kept well soaked with turpentine,
by using large piece of cotton cloth
well saturated, and changing the cloth
every two or three minutes.
Second, very strong solution of
soda, applied in the same way as the
turpentine, when turpentine is not on
hand. Also let the patient have strong
soda water to drink freely.
Third, (aud l am not sure but first
in efficiency,) call attention to the
chicken or fowl remedy. Let any
fowl Ga dog, cat or pig would no doubt
answer as wel) be killed, and cut in
pieces instantly, and large piece OF
the bird or animal, be applied to and
bound upon the wound while the flesh
is still warm. In two or three minutes
let this be removed, as it becomes col.
ored with the extracted virus, and an.
other piece be substituted in its place.
Fourth, ammonia, or "spirits OF
hartshorn," applied in the same way
as the turpentiue or solution of soda,
AS well read physician, think,
as any / know, assured me, few years
ago, that while whisky is not, in reali.
ty, an antidote to snake bite n 1ison,
that ammonia is. The fact, he said,
that the former sometimes figures in
the cure of poisonous bite, was not
owing to its being an antidote per Sc,
for such it is not But the only bene.
fit that came from its use was a sort
of arrest of the further progress of the
poison through the system, until ma.
ture could throw it off, and thus some
times (but not always proves help,
until Nature resumes her normal func.
tions, while in case of the remedies
mentioned in this article, the poison is
at once eliminated from the system.
In case the accident occurs some dis
tance from house, and where neither
of these four articles can at once be
had, let either or both of the following
expedients be temporarily adopted
First, the poison be drawn from th,
wound with the patients own mouth
if he can reach the bitten part, or BY
another, if he is not alone. Or if muC
can be found, or water with which t,
, make some mud, let good sized muc
, poultice be applied to and kept irml,
: on the bitten place, until one of tn
, remedies above described can be ap
piled.

HISTORY Of q Great War LyrIc.

my Maryland was written by Mr..
James R. Randall, a native 81 BaIti-
more, and now residirgin Augusta, Ga.
The poet was a professor OF English
literature and the classics in Poy-
dras College, at Pointe Coupee. on the
Fausse Riviere, in Louisiana, about
seven miles from the Mississippi; and
there in April, in 1861, he read in the
New Orleans Delta, the news ofthe at
tack on the Massachusetts troops as
they passed through Baltimore.
This account excited me greatly, /"
ny. Randall writes. in answer to my
request for information; II had long
been absent from my native city, and
the startling event there inaamed my
mind. That night / could not sleep.
Tor my nerves were all u%nstrung, and |
could not dismiss what / had read in
the paper from my mind. About mid
night l arose, lit q candle and went
to my desk. Some p oGerful spirit
seeme1to possess me, and almost in
voluntarily / proceeded to write the
song of My Maryland / remember
that the idea appeared to first take
shape as music in the brain--some
wild air that | cannot now recall.
The whole poem was dashed offrapid-

posed in cold blood, but under what
may be called a co~naagration of the
senses, II not an aspiI alton Of the in.

some way linking my name with that

lands language But / never expect
cd to do this with one single supreme
effort. and no one was more surprised
than | Mas at the wide spread and in
Simultaneous popularity of the lyric I
had been so strangely stimulated to
write" Mr.. Randall read the poem
the next morning to the college boys,
and at their suggestion sent it into
the Delta. in which it was first printed
and from which it was copied into
nearly every southern journal. 81

1t was the first time since their mar

Often, often, for years afterward.
when the pastor had taken a pinch OF
snuff in his hands, he would pause and
tap his hand gently on the box, and
ms thoughts would wander away to
that honest industrious Iaborer up in
the North, of that happy Christian
home lie had such good report, and
the snuff would be allowed to fall
back unused into the box in the Joy OF
those pleasant thoughts. At such
times a loving smile would steal over
the face of mis- wife. She knew ofwhat
he was thinking, and would say TO
herself: II have got the best husband

..To Grla like . Cheshire Cat,

The county OF Chester gave origin
to the saying, ITO grin like a Cheshire
cat, which is still in vogue in many
districts OF the north OF England.
Several accounts have been given as
to tine birth OF this Suggestive phrase.
One, which appears to be the most
plausible, asserts that the Wild cat
continued to inhabit the peninsula
Between the Dee and Mersey IoE- after
it had disappeared from other parts
ofths country. The face, ard especi-
ally the mouth of the animal, were
very wide, and its grim was SO exceed.
ingly formidable that it may easily be
imagined how the saying, ito grin
like a Cheshire cat" came to be q
common one among the peasantry.
It is also said to have arisen from
the fact that Cheshire cheeses were, ct
somedistant period. made in the form
of the cat indigenous to the county.
We are told that the cheeses we're EN-
6eIlished with whiskers and tails, and
we may suppose that their mouths
were accorded to- a sufficiently wide
grin TO give the u to the saying.-All
